“wildlife interactions”
They even have to be politically correct with bears?
Then why are Federal Park Rangers armed?
Firearms may not be discharged in this national park (except during legal hunting seasons) and can not be used as a wildlife protection strategy
GOOD, Then EVERY EMPLOYEE of the Park Service should be IMMEDIATELY PROHIBITED from Carrying ANY FIREARM AT ANY TIME.
Where is Paul Rino on pushing this legislation through???
by the way, when Government Employees put stuff like this out there for Public Consumption, a REAL Speaker of the House would RAMROD through Legislation making them LIVE BY IT!!!
Black bears matter.
That’s quite alright National Park Service, when my life or the life of my family is at stake I couldn’t not give the smallest rat’s a** what the legal ramifications are....
What do you do if they are wearing a face mask and attack you?
You better let them kill you becuase if you shoot in self-defese, it’s iilegal.
Yes, liberals ARE that stupid...
It looks like someone needs to sue the National Park Service to allow people to defend themselves by guns if attacked by a marauder or a bear.
Instead, give them a big ol’ bear hug.
An incident may be addressed as an “affirmative defense” invoking “doctrine of competing harms”, to wit:
“Yes, I shot that bear. Yes, that was illegal. HOWEVER, I am legally excused in doing so because obeying the law would have caused far greater harm (grave injury or death) than disobeying it.”
Just one of those weird ways laws work.
In true statist, bureaucratic fashion now, the de-facto rule is: if you have to shoot a bear to defend yourself, then don’t tell anyone.
illegals
A big FU to them!
What were ya doin’ to make that bear soooo angry?
It’s ironic that, in a supposedly “free country”, that public spaces are such bastions of tyranny.
Husband: What a beautiful day. Let’s go for a hike in the National Park.
Wife: That’s not a good idea. There are Grizzly bears out there and they have cubs this time of year.
Husband: Not to worry my dear; I have my trusty 9MM in my pocket.
I wouldn’t feel good about shooting a bear with a 9mm.
